Who Else is in the 5 Year Club?

Threev8s · 09-16-2014, 11:25 AM

5 years ago yesterday I bought my 370Z. I picked it up with 9 miles on it. Now, with around 32K on the clock, other than a few TSBs (seat, fuel guage, and steering lock), I haven’t had any real issues. It’s been a great all-around car, especially for a purpose built 2-seater…comfortable on long trips, cheap to maintain, plenty of room for cargo, good on gas without having to drive like an old lady, not much of a “me too” factor, looks great, and still fun to drive 5 years later. A lot has happened since I bought this car, including marriage and kids, so I consider myself very lucky to still have it.

I would feel lucky, too, in your situation. Congrats

We've got a little over 3.5 years in ours but almost double your miles

5 year club owner! 47k miles only issue was CSC 5 years ago no issues since.

2010 Nismo 4 years and two months, 68,000 daily driven miles. hope to

Same here... 5 years 5 moths. The 350Z was with me for a little over 6 years. Hopefully things get better next year so I can put behind the notion of selling the car. Still hanging in there...

I'm in a different 5 year club...

The 5 years (60 months) to pay off the Z club!

May of 09 is when I picked mine up with 5 miles.
Boosted at 19k miles and now sitting just over 82k.

Holy cow! that's great to hear you are getting such longevity from your block! Any major replacements/issues?

Daveski38 · 09-16-2014, 12:39 PM

kenchan · 09-16-2014, 12:44 PM

Wow..that's some low mileage. No wonder why you have so many posts, you don't drive the car.

Had my transmission replaced around 20k miles for a bad syncro but that was bad prior to my SC, just had to wait a bit for a tranny to arrive.
Other than the other TSB not really, normal maintenance plus a little extra for the SC and that is about it.

I've only had mine for 53 months...but I have the mileage of 14 years, does that count? lol

ocfoilist · 09-16-2014, 02:31 PM

Got mine in May of 2009 and is still running great. I've got around 70k on the odometer, had the CSC go out twice before I replaced it with an aftermarket part, had the steering lock issue but that's it. I'm very happy with the Stillen parts, it's fun on the track and I hope to keep it for years to come.
